Worst acting ever.


Sharon Stone could run a clinic in bad acting. It's like she's so bad her bad acting is a virus that spreads to other actors. Quaid is usually pretty good, but in this movie he just looks like a guy waiting to pick up his paycheck.

You can tell this film got hacked up in editing. Too many things just don't add up. It's like they wanted to go with one storyline, then tried a different route, and then it all just collapsed under the weight of all the crap.

That snake scene has to go down as one of the biggest WTF moments in recent cinema history. How did Dale get all those snakes in there? Where did he get his hands on five hundred freaking snakes? And some of em looked like friggin boa constrictors. Did he happen to find those in the pool also?

I always like to imagine what it must have been like for the actors at the premiere of a really bad movie like this. When the lights go up, what do you say? "Uh, I think the snakes came off really well."

LOL! That is so funny.

I was watching a 3-minute behind the scenes on this and it seemed like the actors were making excuses. Dennis Quaid was like, "The script was really great." (note the past tense) and Steve Dorff says, "I thought the character was great." Sharon Stone knows it's a bad film.

I was actually amazed by the wonderful acting in this movie. Sharon Stone, Dennis Quiad, Stephen Dorff, Juliette Lewis and the child actors all did a great job with their characters in my opinion.

Maybe Dale wasn't responsible for the snakes. No one had lived in that house for a long time so it's not that weird that snakes would nest there.

Boa constrictors???? So many different varieties in one region?
